SA = Special Application

SA helmets have fire retardant linings, M helmets don't.

Of course, you can always go to the Snell Memorial Foundation web site, and read all about the specifications.

The other major difference is that SA are built to withstand multiple impacts during the same incident (as in a rollover.)

If you don't mind buying one online, as opposed to a store in NJ, check out www.soloperformance.com

IMO I would suggest you try one on before buying. All helmets fit a little different. Some styles are better for different head shapes. Nothing like spending a few hundred bucks on a helmet that hurts your head.
